Saturday 12 November. Day 262 of the illegal war #Russia is waging on #Ukraine
This is the daily thread with all the news of the conflict

Quite a day yesterday, full of amazing emotions and joyous scenes. If you missed it, just take a scroll through here:
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Russia's (estimated) war dead today tops 80,000

Just two weeks ago today the total reached 70k.
The daily mean Russian deaths since then has been 711.

Today all the first four categories are above average
#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
the #UK's Defence Minister @BWallaceMP has a message for #Russia and its people after yesterday's liberation of #Kherson and the whole region east of the River Dnipro.
The emotional de-occupation of #Kherson is just the start of a new chapter and some difficult decisions now need to be taken.

#Ukraine says it fears a big missile attack during the G20 summit next week. While places like #Mariupol and #Crimea now in range for Ukraine's artillery
A better video has emerged of the destruction of the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.

CCTV shows the moment of the enormous blast which finally brought down a section of the main route across the river Dnipro

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
One tweet from late yesterday you may have missed.

#Banksy in #Ukraine!

A wonderful video to celebrate the release of #Kherson, from #Ukraine's Defence Ministry.

#Hallelujah! #SlavaUkraini
No bridge? No problem for #Ukraine.
Seen in #Kherson region.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Interesting. #Sweden spy scandal.

Just weeks after the #Norway drones stories, a far more serious espionage case emerges in its neighbour:

#StopRussia

Apologies. Earlier I posted video of damage to a bridge in #Kherson. It was of course not the #Antonivskyi but the the bridge over the #NovaKakhovka dam.

Any bridges in the region, even if already damaged by #Ukraine shelling, were brought down when #Russia fled.
Refugees from #Kherson have been celebrating all over the world - from near and far.

I know people who immediately moved to #Odesa, not that far away. This morning many gathered outside the world famous opera house in the port city.

#Odessa #SlavaUkraini
Now searching to see if this is translated into English, and if not why not!

@AngryFil's post pointed me to this historic book and highly recommends it.

Paying tribute to #Ukraine's army. The people of #Kherson say thanks for liberating their city.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Early this morning @alexrossiSKY was engulfed by well-wishers as he accompanied a #Ukraine army crew into #Kherson.

This is near #Chornobaivka and the legendary airport!
A mix of Ukrainian and Russian being spoken.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
I have good news - the stuff we bought with your donations crossed the border from Poland to #Ukraine late last night.

Hopefully it will arrive at the front line tomorrow.
You can see how much clothing etc. we got - the document is the border/customs document.
More gifts left behind by #Russia when they evacuated #Kherson oblast.

The Sun's journalists were shown this warehouse in #Blahodatne (RU: #Blagodatnoe) in the north of the territory, near the regional border with #Mykolaiv.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yet more good news claimed by #Ukraine.

The exiled Governor of #Luhansk oblast tells the national TV show that they have reclaimed 11 more settlements.

Here's the translation of his subsequent post:

#SlavaUkraini #Lugansk
The good people of #Kherson have just escaped #Russia and its curfew, but after one night of celebration they are straight back in to another curfew.

#Ukraine has imposed a 5pm to 8am restriction amid fears some Russians were left behind and changed into civilian clothes.
This is the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, as seen from a drone.

Liberating the rest of the region will be extremely difficult.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The first videos from abandoned #Chornobaivka reveal some of #Russia's ruined equipment from the 40 or so hits on the airport in north #Kherson.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
There are reports tonight of explosions around #Chaplynka in the south of #Kherson near to #Crimea.

It's believed a lot of #Russia's equipment in the region was moved south to Chaplynka, especially the airport there.

Well, we need a "new" Chornobaivka😅

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
1/3
Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
If you missed anything from yesterday, catch up with this link to the start of yesterday's thread. Scroll down to where you got to and complete your knowledge!

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image
